ClockworkMod Touch Recovery 6.0.3.2 for Samsung Galaxy S3 *GSM* ONLY
This is the latest Touch Version from the ClockworkMod Site. I just packed it into a tar file so it can be flashed via Odin or Mobile Odin. Do not attempt to flash this image to the Snapdragon variant as it will not work.
DOWNLOAD LINK TO CWM 6.0.3.2 TOUCH
NOTE: CWM has the ability to 'choose backup format' to either the new .dup method with the blobs folder or the original .tar method where everything is in the date/time stamped folder. You can now ALSO 'create image zip' file from a NAND backup. Be patient with the zip backup option as it does take a while to create the zip (to be expected from a 1GB+ backup). Thank you for this addition koush it makes recovery alot more complete
QUESTION: Why are the backups size soo small now compared to the previous cwm backups?
ANSWER: Basically on the new cwm all the data is stored in a blobs folder in the clockworkmod folder. The backups folder now doesnt hold the actual data and instead the system and data files contain links to the files in the blobs folder (with the hash of the file as its filename). When you perform another backup only the changes have to be added so it performs incremental backups instead of full backups everytime. You can still flash different roms and back them up as any new data is stored in the blobs folder with the links in the backup folder. Several backups can share the same blobs file so over several backups the total file size of all the backups will be much much smaller. When you delete a backup via cwm you can then free space of the blob files that are no longer needed to keep everything tidy and make sure that no files are stored that arent referenced to any backup. If you don't free the space then any unused files will automatically be deleted when the next backup is performed.

How to Install ClockworkMod Touch
1. Download the attached tar file at the bottom of this post. DO NOT EXTRACT THIS FILE! If you end up with a recovery.img file then smack yourself and start again.
2. Download Odin (windows only) at the bottom if you don't already have it and unzip it to a folder on your PC
3. Reboot into Download Mode: Power off your device, Hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME DOWN' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 2 seconds until a WARNING! Screen appears. Press the 'VOLUME UP' button to enter Download Mode.
4. Plug your usb cable in
5. Start Odin (double click Odin3_v3.04.exe).
NOTE: When Odin opens you should see that the first box at the top under ID:COM should turn blue and 'Added' should appear in the message box in Odin.
6. Make sure 'Auto Reboot' and 'F.Reset Time' are ticked in Odin and nothing else.
7. Click on the 'PDA' button in Odin and browse to the recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.3.2-GTI9300.tar file that you downloaded.
8. Click on 'Start' to flash CWM to your phone.
NOTE: You can see whats happening in the message box in Odin. When the flash completes you should see 'RESET' in the top left the box and your phone will reboot.
9. You now have CWM Touch Recovery permanently flashed
How to Access ClockworkMod Touch
1. Unplug the USB cable.
2. Shut down the phone.
3. Hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME UP' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 5 seconds to enter Recovery Mode.
Stock Recovery being reflashed after a reboot?
There is an auto recovery restore system on stock roms that will reflash the Stock Recovery on a Stock Rom. If the restore files are renamed then CWM Recovery should not be overwritten after a reboot.
You need to be rooted and then delete or rename the following files:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can then flash recovery without it being overwritten.
You can also do all this through the Galaxy S3 ToolKit

Nice one
Looking at some screenshots that I googled, it's just the regular recovery with the lines spaced out a bit more to be finger-friendly.
What we really need for the SGSIII is 4EXT Touch Recovery, but the dev only seems to support HTC devices.

Sorry but what are you talking about exactly? The Recovery in the first post is the CWM Touch Recovery with touch screen compatability. Im sure TWRP will support SGS3 eventually if you want a more icon based Recovery.

I found cwm sketchy with backups and switched back to braways. I had cwm touch installed and ROM manager(finally supported) but the issues were too many.
I found using "flash touch recovery" from my tools in aospxxx works nicely.

You are right! I should have been more specific! I know better! The error is: "No applications can perform this action."
Are you sure that's a recovery flashable zip, and not just a zipped up .tar package for Odin?

The file contains a directory called META-INF and recovery.img...
That's for recovery, the Mets-inf folder is the script to write the recovery.img
That's weird, You may try downloading the zip fresh, or if ask else fails grab the Odin flashable tar and use that.

Now, I can run TWRP and run it from there without any ill effects (meaning, a bricked phone!), yes?
Yup.
Given you download the correct file for this device.
If that still fails, which I dunno why I would, it should go without saying The Odin file, will need Odin a pc and a Usb cable

That has the Odin flashable cwm touch file... that version is outdated so after flashing that, you'll have cwm, but flashing a newer Rom zip might end up with a "status 7 error" in recovery.
At that point I'd personally use goo manager go grab the latest version of a cwm zip, that'll be usable in the version of cwm I posted above.

Are you saying I should _not_ use TWRP to put CWM on?
No, it should work, just saying if it still gives you the proverbial finger, Odin is your friend and that version is just the latest with an Odin .tar
So to have your cake (cwm) and eat it too (flash new roms) you'll need to update your recovery from that older version of cwm
So you said you get an error when you tap to install? You should be flashing that zip in recovery like you would a ROM or mod. Is that what you did? After it installs just reboot recovery within twrp and bam!!! You'll have cwm.
Thanks so much for your help...my problem remains, so I may go back to a stock ROM for T-Mobile, since that is my provider, and see if I can solve it... Before I installed CWM, I could sms/mms to my e-mail address...I can't any longer.
I recently tried to install android revolution hd 2.2.0 and ran super wipe.I have put the rom on the sdcard too,so it isn't anymore and the normal bootup doesn't work,I am stuck in recovery and need a way to put that rom there to flash it..does the window explorer work in recovery mode?

If you have the stock Rom flash it via Odin.
Cwm sometimes mounts the external sd card but sometimes doesn't.. don't know how it is for others but it isn't working properly for me.
Go to mount and storage in Cwm for mounting sdcard.

I removed the battery because it was not charging and I thought I won't can flash any rom with the battery low,so I will seek more advices before turning it back on,so..
Wipe removed all my files,including stock rom,but I don't know if volume down + power + home button will work.Well I went into choose zip from sdcard and they all were there,I ran super wipe as it was said in the flash tutorial and it deleted almost everything,I am stuck into recovery and I cannot enter sdcard because there are no files anymore,such as the rom needed to be flashed.
If I mount sdcard n the mount and storage in cwm will windows explorer be able to put the rom back there? So i can flash it with.
update: volume down+home+power works perfectly,should I flash the rom with odin directly? the sdcard is empty too.

If you can get into download mode then you should easily be able to flash via Odin.
Do a search in the forum because there are many guides about flashing through Odin.

I will flash stock rom then I will try again to do android revolution hd 2.2.0 ( the step I missed is about creating a virtual ssd )
I will come with an update if the flash stock rom through odin works.
Checkrom comes in two versions,one is Odin flashable,flash that.then u are rooted after flashing
Next time u use superwipe remember to move the rom to EXTERNAL SD-card ,because internal SD-card is wiped.
Weird..odin exits after a while it says Please wait then it quits,while trying to flash stock rom,what's the problem?
I found a way to put the rom back there,but it is in sdcard,and I cannot enter it ( cannot mount )
How can I solve this from the recovery mode? I am still stuck in recovery mode or download mode..and the rom is on the card now,but cannot access to flash it with cwm
Why do not you just boot?
Previous rom is there but wiped and restored.
I do not think that superwipe was made to empty system from the rom.

The rom had to be put on a virtual/external sdcard,but because I didn't read carefully I put it on sdcard aslong with superwipe,so after I launched superwipe it deleted the sdcard files and the stock OS too,so it just says samsung galaxy siii like before it boots,but it stays that way..
I don't know how to get into the sdcard,cwm recovery says it cannot mount it,sdcard contains my rom,and because I cannot access it,I cannot flash it..I need a way to help cwm to mount sdcard,so I can flash it from there..
Otherwise I tried flashing stock rom but odin crashes,like I press start,then it says check md5 then Please wait,it gets stuck and quits..
Which recovery do you have? Is it the touch cwm?
Flash 5.5.0.4 1.5 from chainfire. Make sure when running odin nothing from kies is running in the background and make sure you do not tick re-partition.

Then i need to tell you that you must flash through Odin a full rom then reroot and then flash again a custom rom of your choice.
Just make sure every time you flash with Odin nothing from Kies runs in the background. Otherwise Odin flash will fail or stuck.

To install the custom recovery ClockworkMod, the process simple and immediate that in recent periods seems to be has become a fashion. The method is to insert the file CMW.zip (containing the recovery ClockWorkMod) in SD, then launch it from original recovery. In this way, we have temporarily installed the recovery Clockworkmod without flasharla with Odin or the like and we can easily install root permissions or other without changing the recovery stocks. ( recovery temporary )...This process, however, seems to be not recommended for all terminals Samsung because it is quite harmful in most cases: temporarily installing the recovery (contained in this file CMW.ZIP ) on particular types of kernel Ice Cream Sandwich, you may incur in a total block of the device.

Sadly there are differences in partition layouts between S2 and S3. S2 allows you to flash temporary (fake) recovery because recovery is on the same partition with kernel. Thats why on S2 you must flash kernel with implemented cwm to have 'static' clockworkmod after reboot. Flashing only cwm is temporary until reboot.
S3 have separate space dedicated for recovery (kernel independent).

Thanks I didn't know that, that explains a lot! But means that that the at&t and Verizon sgs3 have the same system as the sgs2 or why is it working on those?

I don't know much about US versions bro, but i doubt that this is the same firmware as on S2. There are hardware differences between those models.
Maybe partition layout is similar.

First, I would like to apologize for my bad English (If I have spoken something wrong / using wrong grammar)
And I would like to warn you that:
***This will increase the flash counter!
***You cannot boot into CWM by pressing the (vol up + power + home) buttons [I don't know why, don't ask me]
***I'm not responsible if you FAIL to ROOT / BRICK your device / CANNOT OPEN
CORRECTION: THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY TO ROOT S3 MINI, TAKE IT, OR IGNORE IT~~
Guys, I just bought an S3 mini and I found out that the root methods are so few...
For example: Flash pre-rooted ROM, seems is the best way and safest way to have a ROOT-ED system...
Anyway, I have figured an hour and I tried some "tricks" to ROOT the S3 MINI easily with the LATEST FRRMWARE!
I found out 1 thing is when you flash any S3 MINI firmware via ODIN, the firmware DOES NOT including the STOCK RECOVERY
Ok back to the topic, these are the ways that I figured out and used them to ROOT my S3 MINI with LATEST FIRMWARE! (Android 4.1.2 XXAMA2)
Just follow my instructions, I have tested them and they worked...
Step 1: Put the ROOT zip file into sdcard / external sdcard. ***Download the ROOT zip file from below attachment***
Step 2: Boot to DOWNLOAD MODE, flash CWM 6.0.2.8 via ODIN's PDA, UN-TICK "Auto Reboot"
***I have made an ODIN FLASHABLE CWM (6.0.2.8)***Download it from the attachment below***
Step 3: Download any / latest S3 MINI firmware from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I8190
Step 4: Boot into DOWNLOAD MODE again! Flash the firmware that you have downloaded... This time tick the "Auto Reboot"
Step 5: The device will auto reboot into CWM after you have flashed the firmware! When it boots into CWM, click "Install un-trusted zip" first, after that browse and flash the ROOT file via CWM!
REBOOT YOUR DEVICE, IF YOU FIND OUT THAT THE MENU & BACK KEYS CANNOT CLICK, JUST REBOOT YOUR DEVICE AGAIN!
CONGRATULATION! YOU HAVE ROOTED YOUR S3 MINI WITH LATEST FIRMWARE AND LATEST SuperSU!
If you failed to boot into CWM, just flash the firmware again and remember tick the "Auto Reboot"!
The phone will automatically boot into CWM again and all you need to do next is to flash the ROOT zip file!
You are welcome to share your ideas / experiences after using my way...
Post your questions if you have, I'll try to help you... If I may...
TRY MY WAY OUT! :victory::laugh::good:
... your new solution for root isn´t new .... and not recommend because of enrease the custom binary count .....
and nice to see that you are able to share my cwm 6.0.2.8 touch build but not to click thanks in my thread...

I apologize, I have used your CWM zip file converted to tar file :good: I'm so thankful that I can use your post as one of my references :laugh:
Yes, it does increase the custom binary count...
And I have not found a way to flash back the stock recovery...
Maybe is not "new", is just "another" way to ROOT the S3 MINI :angel:

This is like the oldest method in the book. It used to work with other devices, but samsung tightened security on this one.
As for the original recovery, here you go.

Yes it will.
Its better to make a cwm-flashable stock recovery in that case.
I think I've seen one around here somewhere..
Thanks just wanted too be sure.

Have a read here.
Another trick for accessing recovery menu is via command prompt and android-sdk tools installed on PC.
Just navigate to Android folder with debugging mode turned on on phone and type: adb reboot recovery -> voila
Also let me mention that I managed to root and SIM unlock 8190N (NFC model) on latest 4.1.2 JB using your tutorial and Z3X box (USB + UART cable)
1) Flash the Le Fleur ROM via ODIN (this will enable the "three button recovery boot").
2) Flash whatever rooted ROM you want via ODIN (the "three button recovery boot" combo WILL STICK).
3) Install Triangle Away (Infected_ was one of the testers and it's been working for a couple days now).

In my [HOW-TO]Enable three button combo[recovery] there is a much easier way to gain three button recovery boot, without need to download and flash the whole firmware. Only 2mb download
Guys the issue i am always having is when i try to flash the file via Odin i cant cause ive got two yellow folders? ive zipped them but odin doesnt find them? what am i doing wrong pls?

This is excellent. Thank you for your contribution on this forum for this device. I have the Galaxy Mega 6.3 i9200 version. Would you be able to create a cwm recovery for it? I saw in one of your other threads that the recovery.img and recovery.fstab files are needed. I don't know the exact mechanism by which to get those files (rom dump?) but I will try to do it if you tell me how (my device is already rooted). Please let me know if you are willing and able to do it. And, if you will do it, let me know the best way to get the necessary files to you. Either way, thanks, again, for what you've already contributed.
Good work, thank Sarath280. The weekend I try to install. I bought i9205 today.
